Abstract
RNA plays critical roles in a wide range of physiological processes. For example, it is well known that RNA plays an important role in regulating gene expression, cell proliferation, and differentiation, and many other chemical and biological processes. However, the research community still suffers from limited approaches that can be applied to readily visualize a specific RNA-of-interest (ROI). Several methods can be used to track RNAs; these rely mainly on biological properties, namely, hybridization, aptamer, reporter protein, and protein binding. With respect to covalent approaches, very few cases have been reported. Happily, several new methods for efficient labeling studies of ROIs have been demonstrated successfully in recent years. Additionally, methods employed for the detection of ROIs by RNA modifying enzymes have also proved feasible. Several approaches, namely, phosphoramidite chemistry, in vitro transcription reactions, co-transcription reactions, chemical post-modification, RNA modifying enzymes, ligation, and other methods targeted at RNA labeling have been revealed in the past decades. To illustrate the most recent achievements, this review aims to summarize the most recent research in the field of synthesis of RNAs-of-interest bearing a variety of unnatural nucleosides, the subsequent RNA labeling research via biocompatible ligation, and beyond.

Abstract
The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) belongs to the X family of DNA polymerases. This unusual polymerase catalyzes the template-independent addition of random nucleotides on 3'-overhangs during V(D)J recombination. The biological function and intrinsic biochemical properties of the TdT have spurred the development of numerous oligonucleotide-based tools and methods, especially if combined with modified nucleoside triphosphates. Herein, we summarize the different applications stemming from the incorporation of modified nucleotides by the TdT. The structural, mechanistic, and biochemical properties of this polymerase are also discussed.

Abstract
Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules capable of tightly binding to specific targets. These functional nucleic acids are obtained by an in vitro Darwinian evolution method coined SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment). Compared to their proteinaceous counterparts, aptamers offer a number of advantages including a low immunogenicity, a relative ease of large-scale synthesis at affordable costs with little or no batch-to-batch variation, physical stability, and facile chemical modification. These alluring properties have propelled aptamers into the forefront of numerous practical applications such as the development of therapeutic and diagnostic agents as well as the construction of biosensing platforms. However, commercial success of aptamers still proceeds at a weak pace. The main factors responsible for this delay are the susceptibility of aptamers to degradation by nucleases, their rapid renal filtration, suboptimal thermal stability, and the lack of functional group diversity. Here, we describe the different chemical methods available to mitigate these shortcomings. Particularly, we describe the chemical post-SELEX processing of aptamers to include functional groups as well as the inclusion of modified nucleoside triphosphates into the SELEX protocol. These methods will be illustrated with successful examples of chemically modified aptamers used as drug delivery systems, in therapeutic applications, and as biosensing devices.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides are biopolymers that can be easily modified at various locations. Thereby, the attachment of metal complexes to nucleic acid derivatives has emerged as a common pathway to improve the understanding of biological processes or to steer oligonucleotides towards novel applications such as electron transfer or the construction of nanomaterials. Among the different metal complexes coupled to oligonucleotides, ruthenium complexes, have been extensively studied due to their remarkable properties. The resulting DNA-ruthenium bioconjugates have already demonstrated their potency in numerous applications. Consequently, this review focuses on the recent synthetic methods developed for the preparation of ruthenium complexes covalently linked to oligonucleotides. In addition, the usefulness of such conjugates will be highlighted and their applications from nanotechnologies to therapeutic purposes will be discussed.

Abstract
Ruthenium complexes are among the most interesting coordination complexes and they have attracted great attention over the past decades due to their appealing biological, catalytic, electronic and optical properties. Ruthenium complexes have found a unique niche in bioanalysis, as demonstrated by the substantial progress made in the field. In this review, the applications of ruthenium complexes coordinated with polypyridine ligands (and analogues) in bioanalysis are discussed. Three main detection methods based on electrochemistry, electrochemiluminescence, and photoluminscence are covered. The important targets, including DNA and other biologically important targets, are detected by specific biorecognition with the corresponding oligonucleotides as the biorecognition elements (i.e., DNA is probed by its complementary strand and other targets are detected by functional nucleic acids, respectively). Selected examples are provided and thoroughly discussed to highlight the substantial progress made so far. Finally, a brief summary with perspectives is included.

Abstract
Modified nucleoside triphosphates (dA(Hs)TP, dU(POH)TP, and dC(Val)TP) bearing imidazole, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid residues connected to the purine and pyrimidine bases through alkyne linkers were prepared. These modified dN*TPs were excellent substrates for various DNA polymerases in primer extension reactions. Moreover, the combined use of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and the modified dNTPs led to efficient tailing reactions that rival those of natural counterparts. Finally, the triphosphates were tolerated by polymerases under PCR conditions, and the ensuing modified oligonucleotides served as templates for the regeneration of unmodified DNA. Thus, these modified dN*TPs are fully compatible with in vitro selection methods and can be used to develop artificial peptidases based on DNA.

Abstract
Modified nucleosides (dA(R)s and dC(R)s) bearing bipyridine or terpyridine ligands attached through an octadiyne linker were prepared by single-step aqueous-phase Sonogashira cross-coupling of 7-iodo-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine and 5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidine with the corresponding bipyridine- or terpyridine-octadiynes and were triphosphorylated to the corresponding nucleoside triphosphates (dA(R)TPs and dC(R)TPs). The modified dN(R)TPs were successfully incorporated into the oligonucleotides by primer extension experiment (PEX) using different DNA polymerases and the PEX products were used for post-synthetic complexation with divalent metal cations. The complexation of these DNAs containing flexibly-tethered ligands was compared with the previously reported ones bearing rigid acetylene-linked ligands suggesting the possible formation of both inter- and intra-strand complexes with Ni(2+) or Fe(2+).

Abstract
Nucleoside triphosphates are moldable entities that can easily be functionalized at various locations. The enzymatic polymerization of these modified triphosphate analogues represents a versatile platform for the facile and mild generation of (highly) functionalized nucleic acids. Numerous modified triphosphates have been utilized in a broad palette of applications spanning from DNA-tagging and -labeling to the generation of catalytic nucleic acids. This review will focus on the recent progress made in the synthesis of modified nucleoside triphosphates as well as on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying their polymerase acceptance. In addition, the usefulness of chemically altered dNTPs in SELEX and related methods of in vitro selection will be highlighted, with a particular emphasis on the generation of modified DNA enzymes (DNAzymes) and DNA-based aptamers.

Abstract
Fluorescent analogs of the natural nucleobases are widely used as molecular probes for investigating DNA hybridization and topology. In this study the guanosine analogs 8-vinyl- and 8-styryl-2'-deoxyguanosine were synthesized and converted into the corresponding 5'-triphosphates. These C8 modified nucleotides were processed by various DNA polymerases to create fluorescent DNA. Whereas the 8-styryl modified nucleotide somewhat hampers DNA synthesis 8-vinyl-2'-deoxyguanosine is processed by DNA polymerases emphasizing the broad applicability as a molecular probe for fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
A synthetic strategy that utilizes O6-protected 8-bromoguanosine gives broad access to C8-guanine derivatives with phenyl, pyridine, thiophene, and furan substituents. The resulting 8-substituted 2'-deoxyguanosines are push-pull fluorophores that can exhibit environmentally sensitive quantum yields (Φ=0.001-0.72) due to excited-state proton-transfer reactions with bulk solvent. Changes in nucleoside fluorescence were used to characterize metal-binding affinity and specificity of 8-substituted 2'-deoxyguanosines. One derivative, 8-(2-pyridyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine (2PyG), exhibits selective binding of Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) through a bidentate effect provided by the N7 position of guanine and the 2-pyridyl nitrogen atom. Upon incorporation into DNA, 2-pyridine-modified guanine residues selectively bind to Cu(II) and Ni(II) with equilibrium dissociation constants (K(d)) that range from 25 to 850 nM; the affinities depend on the folded state of the oligonucleotide (duplex>G-quadruplex) as well as the identity of the metal ion (Cu>Ni≫Cd). These binding affinities are approximately 10 to 1 000 times higher than for unmodified metal binding sites in DNA, thereby providing site-specific control of metal localization in alternatively folded nucleic acids. Temperature-dependent circular-dichroism studies reveal metal-dependent stabilization of duplexes, but destabilization of G-quadruplex structures upon adding Cu(II) to 2PyG-modified oligonucleotides. These results demonstrate how the addition of a single pyridine group to the C8 position of guanine provides a powerful new tool for studying the effects of N7 metalation on the structure, stability, and electronic properties of nucleic acids.

Abstract
Modified nucleoside mono- (dA(R)MPs and dC(R)MPs) and triphosphates (dA(R)TPs and dC(R)TPs) bearing bipyridine or terpyridine ligands attached via acetylene linker were prepared by single-step aqueous-phase Sonogashira cross-coupling of 7-iodo-7-deaza-dAMP or -dATP, and 5-iodo-dCMP or -dCTP with the corresponding bipyridine- or terpyridine-linked acetylenes. The modified dN(R)TPs were successfully incorporated into the oligonucleotides by primer extension experiment (PEX) using different DNA polymerases and the PEX products were used for post-synthetic complexation with Fe(2+).

Abstract
Basic aspects of DNA electrochemistry with a strong focus on the use of modified nucleobases as redox probes for electrochemical bioanalysis are reviewed. Intrinsic electrochemical properties of nucleobases in combination with artificial redox-active nucleobase modifications are frequently applied in this field. Synthetic approaches (both chemical and enzymatic) to base-modified nucleic acids are briefly summarized and their applications in redox labelling are discussed. Finally, analytical applications including DNA hybridization, primer extension, PCR, SNP typing, DNA damage and DNA-protein interaction analysis are presented (critical review, 91 references).

Abstract
Aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of halogenated nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleoside triphosphates derived from 5-iodocytosine and 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine with methyl-, benzyl- and tritylsufanylphenylboronic acids gave the corresponding alkylsulfanylphenyl derivatives of nucleosides and nucleotides. The modified nucleoside triphosphates were incorporated into DNA by primer extension by using Vent(exo-) polymerase. The electrochemical behaviour of the alkylsulfanylphenyl nucleosides indicated formation of compact layers on the electrode. Modified nucleotides and DNA with incorporated benzyl- or tritylsulfanylphenyl moieties produced signals in [Co(NH(3))(6)](3+) ammonium buffer, attributed to the Brdička catalytic response, depending on the negative potential applied. Repeated constant current chronopotentiometric scans in this medium showed increased Brdička catalytic response, which suggests the deprotection of the alkylsulfanyl derivatives to free thiols under the conditions.

Abstract
Numerous 2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) that are functionalized with spacious modifications such as dyes and affinity tags like biotin are substrates for DNA polymerases. They are widely employed in many cutting-edge technologies like advanced DNA sequencing approaches, microarrays, and single molecule techniques. Modifications attached to the nucleobase are accepted by many DNA polymerases, and thus, dNTPs bearing nucleobase modifications are predominantly employed. When pyrimidines are used the modifications are almost exclusively at the C5 position to avoid disturbing of Watson-Crick base pairing ability. However, the detailed molecular mechanism by which C5 modifications are processed by a DNA polymerase is poorly understood. Here, we present the first crystal structures of a DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus processing two C5 modified substrates that are accepted by the enzyme with different efficiencies. The structures were obtained as ternary complex of the enzyme bound to primer/template duplex with the respective modified dNTP in position poised for catalysis leading to incorporation. Thus, the study provides insights into the incorporation mechanism of the modified nucleotides elucidating how bulky modifications are accepted by the enzyme. The structures show a varied degree of perturbation of the enzyme substrate complexes depending on the nature of the modifications suggesting design principles for future developments of modified substrates for DNA polymerases.

Abstract
A set of 6 base-modified 2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives was incorporated to diverse DNA sequences by primer extension using Vent (exo-) polymerase and the influence of the modification on cleavage by diverse restriction endonucleases was studied. While 8-substituted (Br or methyl) adenine derivatives were well tolerated by the restriction enzymes and the corresponding sequences were cleaved, the presence of 7-substituted 7-deazaadenine in the recognition sequence resulted in blocking of cleavage by some enzymes depending on the nature and size of the 7-substituent. All sequences with modifications outside of the recognition sequence were perfectly cleaved by all the restriction enzymes. The results are useful both for protection of some sequences from cleavage and for manipulation of functionalized DNA by restriction cleavage.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate derivatives bearing linkers of varying length, bulk and flexibility, at position 5 of the pyrimidine base. Nucleotide analogues with terminal functional groups are of interest due to their application potential for the functional labelling of DNA strands. In the course of the synthesis of the nucleotide analogues, the methodology for the Yoshikawa phosphorylation procedure was optimised, resulting in an approach which reduces the amount of side-products and is compatible with labile functional groups attached to the base. The effect of linker composition on the enzymatic incorporation into DNA was systematically investigated using two different DNA polymerases. Deep Vent(R) exo(-) from the B-polymerase family accepted most nucleotide analogues as substrates, while Taq from the A-family was slightly less proficient. Both polymerases had difficulties incorporating 5-(3-amino-prop-1-ynyl)-2'-deoxyuridine triphosphate. A molecular model of the active site of the polymerase was used to rationalise why this nucleotide was not accepted as a substrate.

Abstract
Thymidine analogues 5-trifluoromethyl-, 5-pentafluoroethyl- and 5-(heptafluoro-n-propyl)-2'-deoxyuridines were synthesised and converted into the corresponding 5'-triphosphates 1a-c. Performing DNA polymerase-catalyzed primer extension reactions these modified nucleotides were incorporated into DNA to create perfluoroalkylated nucleic acids. Although single modified nucleotides were enzymatically incorporated and further elongated quite similar to the natural TTP, the enzymatic synthesis of multi-modified nucleic acids was initial only feasible with modifications at every fourth base. Nevertheless, as the effects of the modified dUTPs on DNA polymerases varied significantly with the used enzyme, Therminator DNA polymerase was proficient in incorporating 11 adjacent 5-trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxyuridine moieties.

Abstract
The enzymatic incorporation of a series of emissive pyrimidine analogues into RNA oligonucleotides is explored. T7 RNA polymerase is challenged with accepting three non-natural, yet related, triphosphates as substrates and incorporating them into diverse RNA transcripts. The three ribonucleoside triphosphates differ only in the modification of their uracil nucleus and include a thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine nucleoside, a thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivative, and a uridine containing a thiophene ring conjugated at its 5-position. All thiophene-containing uridine triphosphates (UTPs) get incorporated into RNA oligonucleotides at positions that are remote to the promoter, although the yields of the transcripts vary compared with the transcript obtained with only native triphosphates. Among the three derivatives, the 5-modified UTP is found to be the most "polymerase-friendly" and is well accommodated by T7 RNA polymerase. Although the fused thiophene analogues cannot be incorporated next to the promoter region, the 5-modified non-natural UTP gets incorporated near the promoter (albeit in relatively low yields) and even in multiple copies. Labeling experiments shed light on the mediocre incorporation of the fused analogues, suggesting the enzyme frequently pauses at the incorporation position. When incorporation does take place, the enzyme fails to elongate the modified oligonucleotide and yields aborted transcripts. Taken together, these results highlight the versatility and robustness, as well as the scope and limitation, of T7 RNA polymerase in accepting and incorporating reporter nucleotides into modified RNA transcripts.

Abstract
Modified 2'-deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) and [Os(bpy)(3)](2+) complexes attached via an acetylene linker to the 5-position of pyrimidines (C and U) or to the 7-position of 7-deazapurines (7-deaza-A and 7-deaza-G) have been prepared in one step by aqueous cross-couplings of halogenated dNTPs with the corresponding terminal acetylenes. Polymerase incorporation by primer extension using Vent (exo-) or Pwo polymerases gave DNA labeled in specific positions with Ru(2+) or Os(2+) complexes. Square-wave voltammetry could be efficiently used to detect these labeled nucleic acids by reversible oxidations of Ru(2+/3+) or Os(2+/3+). The redox potentials of the Ru(2+) complexes (1.1-1.25 V) are very close to that of G oxidation (1.1 V), while the potentials of Os(2+) complexes (0.75 V) are sufficiently different to enable their independent detection. On the other hand, Ru(2+)-labeled DNA can be independently analyzed by luminescence. In combination with previously reported dNTPs bearing ferrocene, aminophenyl, and nitrophenyl tags, the Os-labeled dATP has been successfully used for "multicolor" redox labeling of DNA and for DNA minisequencing.

The synthesis of the title 7-deazaadenine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides bearing bipyridine, phenanthroline or terpyridine ligands linked to position 7 via an acetylene or phenylene spacer is reported based on aqueous cross-coupling reactions of unprotected 7-iodo-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine with ligand-functionalized acetylenes or boronic acids. The aqueous cross-coupling with acetylene or boronate building blocks containing the Ru(bpy)(3)-type of complex gave the corresponding Ru-containing nucleosides. Photophysical and electrochemical properties were studied and the most efficient type of complex was selected for future luminescent and redox labelling of DNA. The title nucleosides also showed some cytostatic and anti-HCV activities.

Abstract
Construction of functionalized nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) via polymerase incorporation of modified nucleoside triphosphates is reviewed and selected applications of the modified nucleic acids are highlighted. The classical multistep approach for the synthesis of modified NTPs by triphosphorylation of modified nucleosides is compared to the novel approach consisting of direct aqueous cross-coupling reactions of unprotected halogenated nucleoside triphosphates. The combination of cross-coupling of NTPs with polymerase incorporation gives an efficient and straightforward two-step synthesis of modified nucleic acids. Primer extension using biotinylated templates followed by separation using streptavidine-coated magnetic beads and DNA duplex denaturation is used for preparation of modified single stranded oligonucleotides. Examples of using this approach for electrochemical DNA labelling and bioanalytical applications are given.

Abstract
Stripping voltammetric determination of purine bases in the presence of copper ions at mercury, amalgam, or carbon-based electrodes has recently been utilized in analysis of DNA or synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs). Here we report on copper-enhanced label-free anodic stripping detection of guanine and adenine bases in acid-hydrolyzed DNA at anodically oxidized boron-doped diamond electrode (AO-BDDE). The AO-BDDE was successfully applied in a three-electrode microcell in which an approximately 50 microL drop of the analyte solution can be efficiently stirred during the accumulation step by streaming of an inert gas. Accelerated mass transport due to the solution motion in the presence of copper resulted in enhancement of the guanine oxidation signal by about 2 orders of magnitude (compared to accumulation of the analyte from still solution not containing copper), allowing an easy detection of approximately 25 fmol of the ODNs. The proposed technique is shown to be suitable for a determination of purine (particularly guanine) content in DNA samples. Applications of the technique in magnetic bead-based DNA assays (such as hybridization with DNA sequences exhibiting asymmetrical distribution of purine/pyrimidine nucleotides between the complementary strands or monitoring of amplification of specific DNA fragments in a duplex polymerase chain reaction) are demonstrated.

Abstract
The synthesis of the title 2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives bearing bipyridine, phenanthroline or terpyridine ligands and their corresponding RuII-complexes in position 8 linked via acetylene or phenylene tethers was accomplished through cross-coupling reactions. The Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of boronic acids or the Sonogashira reactions of terminal acetylene derivatives of oligopyridine ligands were performed either on protected 8-bromoadenosines in organic solvents or, more efficiently, directly on unprotected nucleosides in aqueous acetonitrile or DMF. Direct cross-coupling reactions of unprotected nucleosides with RuII-complexes or the oligopyridine-boronic acids or -acetylenes gave the Ru-labelled nucleosides in one step in fair to good yields. This method was also proven to be applicable for direct Ru-labelling of dATP. Terpyridine-containing 2'-deoxyadenosine exerted significant antiviral and cytostatic effects.

Abstract
Thymine-Hg(II)-thymine base pairs have been incorporated in an oligonucleotide duplex to study their effect on DNA-mediated charge transport. The introduction of a formally charged Hg atom inside the DNA base core does not significantly alter the charge hopping and trapping properties, as discussed in this paper. Hg(II) replaces the protons normally found on thymines within the complex and acts like a "big proton" in terms of its role in DNA charge transport.

Abstract
Labeling of oligonucleotide reporter probes (RP) with electroactive markers has frequently been utilized in electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization. Osmium tetroxide complexes with tertiary amines (Os,L) bind covalently to pyrimidine (predominantly thymine) bases in DNA, forming stable, electrochemically active adducts. We propose a technique of electrochemical "multicolor" DNA coding based on RP labeling with Os,L markers involving different nitrogenous ligands (such as 2,2' -bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives or N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine). At carbon electrodes the Os,L-labeled RPs produce specific signals, with the potentials of these differing depending on the ligand type. When using Os,L markers providing sufficiently large differences in their peak potentials, parallel analysis of multiple target DNA sequences can easily be performed via DNA hybridization at magnetic beads followed by voltammetric detection at carbon electrodes. Os,L labeling of oligonucleotide probes comprising a segment complementary to target DNA and an oligo(T) tail (to be modified with the osmium complex) does not require any organic chemistry facilities and can be achieved in any molecular biological laboratory. We also for the first time show that this technology can be used for labeling of oligonucleotide probes hybridizing with target DNAs that contain both purine and pyrimidine bases.

Abstract
To broaden the applicability of chemically modified DNAs in nano- and biotechnology, material science, sensor development, and molecular recognition, strategies are required for introducing a large variety of different modifications into the same nucleic acid sequence at once. Here, we investigate the scope and limits for obtaining functionalized dsDNA by primer extension and PCR, using a broad variety of chemically modified deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), DNA polymerases, and templates. All natural nucleobases in each strand were substituted with up to four different base-modified analogues. We studied the sequence dependence of enzymatic amplification to yield high-density functionalized DNA (fDNA) from modified dNTPs, and of fDNA templates, and found that GC-rich sequences are amplified with decreased efficiency as compared to AT-rich ones. There is also a strong dependence on the polymerase used. While family A polymerases generally performed poorly on "demanding" templates containing consecutive stretches of a particular base, family B polymerases were better suited for this purpose, in particular Pwo and Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase. A systematic analysis of fDNAs modified at increasing densities by CD spectroscopy revealed that single modified bases do not alter the overall B-type DNA structure, regardless of their chemical nature. A density of three modified bases induces conformational changes in the double helix, reflected by an inversion of the CD spectra. Our study provides a basis for establishing a generally applicable toolbox of enzymes, templates, and monomers for generating high-density functionalized DNAs for a broad range of applications.
